I suddenly thought of peanuts in the mixed nuts that I often eat myself and looked them up, and found that although they look similar, nuts that grow from trees and peanuts that grow under the ground are classified as two different kinds, and that peanuts are really a different kind, despite their appearance." He later stated, "I felt that this was the theme of this work, that there is something interesting about playing a fake family while hiding one's true identity and confronting something like a real family, and that the happiness and joy that comes to you is all that matters, rather than whether it is genuine or not. I created this work with the original in mind."[ 5]
